(C#) Amazon Glacier Upload Archive from In-Memory Data

Demonstrates how to add an archive to a vault from data in memory.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.78 or greater.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Note: The above REST connection and setup of the AWS credentials
// can be done once.  After connecting, any number of REST calls can be made.
// The "auto reconnect" property passed to rest.Connect indicates that if
// the connection is lost, a REST method call will automatically reconnect
// if needed.

// Load the data to be uploaded.
